THE CAROLINA INDIAN VOICE
MAKES PLANS FOR
TEN YEAR VICTORY CELEBRATION
The Cadtaa hdha Voice is miking
plans to celebrate! ten years of publica
tion during the month of January 1983.
'"We hope you will join us in this exciting
pnctravaganza.
One particular adventure will be a
?special Annlvsreaiy Edition [A Decade
of Service 1973-1983) which will appear
on Thursday, January 20, 1983 noting
ten years of continuous publication. This
, will, mote likely than not, be the biggest
issue of The Carolina Indian Voice to
ever appear.
The Anniversary Edition will include
.highlights of the previous ten years, a
special history of the Carolina Indian
Voice, biographical sketches of those
t involved in the production of the Carolina
?Indian Voice, and more. This Special
Anniversary Edition is also soliciting
advertisements from our merchants and
- friends who wish to share this special
/ moment with us. More about this in the
| weeks to come.
And, sit coarse, a Special Amrivereasy
I scheduled for January 22, 1963 will
give us a brief respite, a moment to
rest on our laurels and look to the future.
Plans are being formulated for this
Special Anniversary Celebration. Look
for further details in the weeks to come.
And A Special Edition of Brace
Barton 'a "As I aee It" columns which
have appeared in the Carolina Indian
Voice over the last ten years.
I have sometimes been irreverent but I
have always tried to be gut- honest.
Writing a column for ten years has
taught me something about discipline
and human relations.
This Special Anniversary Edition is
being prepared for publication and will
ready for sale on the night of our
Anniversary Celebration (January 22,
1983). We are beginning, this issue,
accepting advance orders. The book will
sell for S7.9S plus 32c tax for a total of
$8.27. (See ad elsewhere in this issue).
The Carolina Indian Voice is planning
to publish 2,000 copies of this interesting
look at Ten Years of Robeson County life
from the eyes of one who has been
observing and reporting on things like
Double Voting, the evils of illegal
annexations, personalities, spiritual de
velopment and more. It's surprising how
much has happened over the last ten
years. I usually had something to my
about just about everything over this
decade of service. I am calling the book
"The Best of...*As I see It.' " My
distractors might call it "the worst."
That's life in tri-radal Robeson County
the most interesting place in America to
live and grow as a human being.
We hope you'll want a copy of this
interesting book, if I do my so myself for
your personal library. It is a special
Anniversary Edition and 1 hope you'll
want to get a copy for yourself.
The book also includes a few "sayings'
from 01' Reasonable Locfclear, pictures
and scads of history. You can read about
the breaking of the evil political system
of double voting, the Saving of Old
Main, the change of the guard at the
county board of education, spiritual
development, interesting personalities
and more.
A lot has happened over the last ten
years. We want to share it with you and
make a little money .besides. That's not
such a bad proposition. Is it?
